It w ill .be read with a lively interest by all ,thpse.who desire, like our selves, to preserve reli.eci for the cliarader of the Learned Body to whom it aikidos. . • " Dear SURRIDAN, , • , • . " From something that has been stated to hive fallen from my friend Anstruther, upon your .motion On Friday, the public (and naturally enough) aretiii in arms against me—l am sure he did not intend to hurt or insure me, a we have always lived on terms of intimacy and friendship. I could have prevent ed that misapprehension had I foreseen it, by autho rising you to state in the House of Commons what had passed between t 4 upon the subject of the Re solution ; but I asked your confidence, to avoid even the appearance of sling invidiously towards friends in the profession, with whom I have spent the greatest part of my life, and to whom I am sin cerely attached ; but, as' things have turned out, I cannot do justice either tathem or. to myself, more effectually, than by stating the fads regarding this' proceeding exaally as they stand. " I went to Lincoln's Inn on the 3d of February, two years ago, not with the view of considering any .public besiness, but to dine at the Bench with My old friends and companions at the Bar. It happen ed on that • day when the Benchers were drinking their wine after dinner in their own apartment, that' a report of several propositions • was brought up to them from Gentlemen of the Bar, assembled in the Hall, one of them (as appears by the minutes of the Society) being the Resolution in question—.what pass. ed in conversation on the subjea I do not remember, my attention had never been called to it, and coming as it did froM the Bar, it is extremely likely, since no ,decision was to be come to upon the subjed, lbw.: I might, not have opposed . any view that the oilier Benchers were disposed in such Conversation to consider it, and the rather, because I hatj • and have • the highest opinion ot, and the greatest confidence in, did learning and integrity of those who were present, more ac customed-than Myself since I left the Bar, to attend to the concerns .and duties of the Society. . An an swer was sent to the Bar, that the Bench would take Us consideration the suggestions ?f their report, , rflich contained several different subjects for its fu tiare 'deliberation. According to the usual forms of tbe s6ciety ray• name appears, as ; of course, to that aiswer, 'Old stands first, from the courtesy-of the Bench to rank or seniority ; but it is most es ident that no aanaion was given to the Proposition by this proceeding. We *ere sitting over our wine and sending an answer of reaped to the Bar. From, that time forward I never, heard More upon the subject, having removed to a distant part cf the town, until I heard not long. ago that the Resolution in question had been adopted and confirmed in the May foll ow . ing the February, when I had dined in the Halt. I heard at the same •time that it was considered by Many to be objeatonable. " What part I should have taken, had I attended with the Benchers who adopted it, it, is impossiblg for me to saywhether the objet.tions which now most forcibly present themselves to my mind upon the subje& of -the Resoltnioti, would then • lave occurred to me, since they do not appeat to have occurred to others, or how far, if they had occurred, they might have yielded in decision, from confidence its the judgment of my friends present, I will not even venture to conjeaure, because it would be in vidious towards men whom I highly resped for their talents and honour, and would besides be arrogating to myself, without any certain foundation, that I should have been wiser upon this subject than those whom I have always ronsidered, and still consider to be my equals. Be this however as it may, I can never be taken in my absence to have been con curring in a decision of such importance, when I had no opportunity of exercising a deliberate judg-, 'ment upon a matter that was to atfea the interest of others. But this I can firmly. say for my se lf, t h at if I had been present when the resolution in ques tion was adopted, and had concurred with those who adopted it, should not the less on that ac count (with the opinions I entertain at present) have hesitated to propose that it should be'rescinded. I have always considered the retraaation of errors in public men, aging sincerely, but without due consideration, to be not only no humiliation, but the highest and -most grateful illustration, of talentsapd virtue; 'yet in nothing is the world more perpetual ly suffering, than from the general blindness of man kind to thia . .obvious truth. We see not merely in dividuals exposed to the greatest calamities, but even nations undone and ruined, to cover a mistake in the most difficult and complicated policy of a State. " I may appeal safely to you, my dear Sheridan, for the sincerity of this remark, because you know that though I was not a party to the Resolution, I communicated to you in confidence my-determina tion to move for, its repeal, and expressed an opi nion?. that the Benchers would re-consider and re scind it on the principle adverted to.. It is one of the greatest blessings attendant upon our own tree Government, that we are instrutted in our duties and corrected in our errors by public opinion, and they who. refuse to be so instruaed and corrected are unworthy of the most insignificant trusts. • ", The Inns of Court, without any incorporation or clearly defined jurisdiction, have preserved for a 'lng season the charaaer of the English Bar, and I have no doubt that they will continue to preserve their immemorial reputation. 0 " You; will not wonder that I am very anxious upon this aubjed—you know my subscription to the Freedom of the Press, and in very critical times to other branches of public liberty.—You have often done me more than, justice by eloquence, which, though not requiring the warmth proc ee di ng f rom partial regard and opinion, has always been so re markable when I have been the subjea. " I mean .to call upou my friend Anstruther to morrow morning, who, I am quite sure, will be ready to do me justice: • ". Saturday Night.'l " Your's,' most faithfully, " ERSKINE."

Whole of last month, has been favotirable to the farmer, by en abling him to get in his seed upon the tender soils that were somewhat saturated by the heavy rains in March.

The barley, owing fio the genial and timely showers, comes up - regularly, - in consequence of which we may expect a full and even crop. Oats upon lays, from the same cause, are very promising.

Some experiments were made in England on cord age Of size. A piece of rope 3' 1-5 inches circum ference was cut Into many portions : each of these had a fathom cut off, add it was carefully opened out : .it was white or untarred, and contained 72. yarns ; they were each tried separately, and thyir mean strength was go lbs. Each corresponding pieCe of rope was tried aparr, and the mean strength .of nine pieces was 4551 lbs. ; but tf.titnes 72 0480. This proses a a ,, age, composed of separate yarns, is sm.) tgzr than a ro,.e of the same number of yarns;, oei.a,,s,; the y,rns in ihis rope did not all n , --ar the saute strain: Formerly all the yarns of a rope w-tre the same length, and therfore the inner yarns were slack, and did not bear the same s rain as the outer. An intelligent Scotch man,. who resided in Denmark, obseiving this faith, proposed a new method of making cord age, and which has been adopted. In -twisting the strand, intakes of itself .as much of each *yarn which compose the rope as is w,:nted, and ther'efore all the yarns bear an equal strain as in a salvage ; and therefore the ropes are now stronger than here tofore. A question may here . be, asked, whether an experiment has been made between a rope made on the new plan and a salvage, of the same number of yarns ? becauSe, it appears probable, they will bear the same weight. If no experitledt has. been tried, and an : hypotheSis established, " that because 'a salvage was stronger than the rope in the way it was formerly made, it must be so now, although the rope is . made differently," such reasoning is fal lacious. The cables that are at present made in the navy are twisted slack, and they must open and rub by taking the groutid.. At first sight it appears.a short way ; Of making long swabs. Perhaps nonlore slack twisted Cables will be made, . if. the following experiments are tried with ropes of the same size. A rope tarred made in the old manner. .A rope tarred made in the new method. A white rope ditto. Apart of this rope first stove& and then tarred: A salvage white. A salvage tarred in the yarns The following will express the tons a rope will carry :=-I.Vlultiply the circumference In inches by itself, .and take one-fifth part of the Trodua.— Thus, if a rope hare six inches in circumference, six times six is thirty-six, the fifth part of which is seven and one,fifth tons. This seppOses the rope rather too. strong, but the rule may be,of use. • The inner yarn is ,one.third shorter than the. outer— what a prodigious inequality in length • AGRICULTURAL REPORT FUR APRIL, ' 1 . The . i,rineiple On. which all ropes are made; is t o . I give each yarn an additional t Wigs,' so that, bY mi -1 twisting, they assist in laying the strand a contrary I way; for instance, take two pieces of whipcord, give each an additional twist, after qing them to gether, and pinch the untied ends • together, then t let them go, and they will twist a strand of• them= selves the contrary lay. The tarring the yarns, there fore, before the rope is made, destroys that- power of untwisting, and violates the principle on which all cordage is made, and appears one of the causes why a white or untarred rope is stronger than t tarred rope. For this_ reason, the ' Dutch, in the dock-yard of Anasterda:::‘, spun the yarns and made the rope white;- after which it was put iu:o a stow-. room to dry for 24 hours; because if the hemp was danip, the tar would not adhere to it. - E amine a ' rope where the yarns are tarred, and you will find the tar in lUmps, and not equally diStributed, and which is owing to the yarns being more damp in one part than another.- After the process of - storing, Go . • tons of rope at a t ime are lowered on gratis gi into boiling tar, and left for one hour,' then taken ow, when every rope is complely saturated with tar, and in two hours time will hardly soil a white handker chief.
